2 of which are 73 type rated and still not found jobs. some even have 500hrs and are 80k in debt!
a type rating and 500hrs? is that total time? or time on type? Either way, 500 hrs is not that much. and a typerating really doesn't mean that much, unless you have some decent time on type.
I am thinking about getting my FAA ATP with 500 hrs on turboprop experience.
I am thinking choosing this over the rip off JAR licence as I would have a lot more hands on experience and hours
why not do both?
Get your FAA CPL and CFI first, do some instruction, then go back do the theory, do a little flying and the exams.
Saves you a heck of a lot of money...
Finding a job on a N-reg as a european with around 1500-2500 hrs, i won't say it is unduable, but the saying "needle in a haystick" comes to mind.
